Gallery: Students celebrate global culture at Ethnos Frequencies

November 19, 2025 by Daniel Curd

This year’s annual Ethnos show took place Friday and Saturday nights at the Boone Family Theatre. Organized by the International Student Association, the theme for Ethnos was “Frequencies,” which highlighted diverse acts performed by student groups and local Abilene organizations. The show closed with a multilingual worship set by Global Worship, uniting voices in praise across languages.
